What Is The Battery Size On A Tri-Mode Stadler Flirt?

The power-pack in the middle of a Tri-Mode Stadler Flirt, would appear to have four slots, each of which could take.

A V8 16-litre Deutz diesel that can produce 478 kW and weighs 1.3 tonnes.
A battery of about 120 kWh, which would probably weigh about 1.2 tonnes.

Would future versions of these trains accept a hydrogen fuel cell?

Note that, I estimated the battery size, by using typical battery energy densities for a battery of similar weight and physical size to the diesel engine.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
